Integrated amp for Legacy Focus speakers

I started with Peachtree Nova pre & Nova 220 amp class D, it’s ok but out of space on preamp. Have an Emotiva BasX TA2 I’m running now and I like it better than the Peachtree. These speakers have 98% efficiency and 4 ohm, 7 driver but still think I need around 200 watts into 8 ohms (??!!), but with that efficiency maybe not? I listen at moderately loud levels.
I don’t really want separates so looking at integrated amps and class A & A/B only. Not sure what the Mac MA 7200 is on output stage but like this one. Also looking at Galion & Advance Paris integrateds. A used MAC represents where my $$$ stops - around $5-6K.
What other class A & A/B integrateds with full smorgasbord of features should I be looking at and will pair well with the Legacy Focus speakers (Which I love!!)?

thank you - Kevin

As long as the int amp was not harsh on highs & mids and bass was handled well (which both of the amps I have now work well with the bass drivers on these speakers).

Forget Emotiva.  Here’s a nice Plinius Hautonga well under your price range that would likely sound wonderful and well worth a look.  Best of luck.

Really depends on what improvements you’re looking for and what sound characteristics are most important to you.  Without that info it’s impossible to make an informed recommendation.
